NYC leaders call for inspection after video shows poor conditions at Federal Plaza detention center


MANHATTAN, New York (WABC) -- There are growing questions surrounding video showing crowded conditions inside a federal immigration center in Manhattan, and now New York City leaders are calling for a full inspection.

If video tells the story, then the New York Immigration Coalition hopes images from inside 26 Federal Plaza bring about a much-needed change.

The organization released footage recorded on the 10th floor of the center, which shows men sleeping on the floor in crowded and unsanitary conditions.

Switzerland plans surveillance worse than US


The proposed update to Switzerland’s Ordinance on the Surveillance of Postal and Telecommunications Traffic (VÜPF: Verordnung über die Überwachung des Post- und Fernmeldeverkehrs) represents a significant expansion of state surveillance powers, worse than the surveillance powers of the USA. If enacted, it would have serious consequences for encrypted services such as Threema, an encrypted WhatsApp alternative and Proton Mail as well as VPN providers based in Switzerland.

switzerland was never a utopia for anybody except corporations, billionaires, and nazis. their "neutrality" was nothing more than an excuse for unregulated capitalism.
in reply to underline960

Switzerland never had solid privacy laws - and is known for intelligence service overreach for decades.

They had a Stasi like system of "who to imprison" when "the time comes".

They listen to all IP traffic in and out the country - which is concerning in times of traffic pattern analysis.
And they are known for their close cooperation with US intelligence services.

Protons (and Threemas) claim of "soo good swiss privacy laws" is nothing more than swiss-washing. And they know it.

Proton has already given away data of its customers (climate activists) to the swiss authorities. And only talked about it when the press got onto it.

Buried in Proton's AI announcement today is a pretty shocking detail about their service 👀
Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.

WordPress-ActivityPub v 7.1.0 Introduces Following Capabilities


The latest release of the ActivityPub WordPress plugin introduces new functionality for performing remote follows directly from WordPress. Here's why that's important for the future of WordPress on the Fediverse.


WordPress-ActivityPub v 7.1.0 Introduces Following Capabilities


The ActivityPub plugin team at Automattic has been doing some amazing work. Over the past few years, this single-person project has shifted from a single-person effort to a team of full-time developers. With the release of the 7.x branch of the ActvityPub integration plugin, project devs announced that they would be working on bringing remote following capabilities to the plugin itself.

Today, version 7.1.0 was released with a very early sneak peak at this new feature. While it’s currently hidden behind an “Advanced Options” toggle, it’s now possible to use the ActivityPub plugin to directly follow other Actors on the network.

Screenshot courtesy of ActivityPub for WordPress

This is still a relatively new feature, and the plumbing hasn’t been completely fleshed out yet. Team member Konstantin Obenland explains further in the announcement:

There’s really no functionality around it yet, beyond following accounts from other instances, as we have yet to start processing incoming posts and adding the ability to interact with them. But if you just can’t wait to show your appreciation for other accounts by following them, go wild!


Why is this Important?


The connection from WordPress to the rest of the Fediverse has always kind of been in a weird place. While the main ActivityPub integration for WordPress generally works great for sending articles to subscribers, following people directly from the WordPress dashboard has been messy. Right now, if you wanted to use your WordPress blog as an actual Fediverse account, you would need the following things:

  • Friends – a social dashboard for WordPress, still in the early stages. This piece is primarily used for following other people in the Fediverse.
  • Enable Mastodon Apps – This implements a substantial amount of the Mastodon API, so that you can post microblog updates directly to your WordPress site.
  • Event Bridge for ActivityPub – This technically adds support for federated Events, by converting your site’s events calendar into something people on the network can subscribe to and indicate their attendance.

With these three pieces, it’s possible to cobble together something that comes close to being a complete Fediverse user experience. Still, this process takes time to set up, can be prone to configuration issues, and sometimes has missing features. Having different plugins that all touch the ActivityPub integration can also be harder to test code and report issues.
We use Tusky with our site for social purposes. It’s pretty good, but definitely could be better.
By introducing remote following functionality directly into the ActivityPub plugin, the project team will effectively provide standard mechanisms for other plugins to directly rely on. In the near future, this might mean that you won’t have to rely on Friends to be the broker of your social connections. Instead, Friends can just use what’s already put in place by the core plugin, and focus on ways to just work as a social dashboard.

Also, Starter Packs!


One other thing worth mentioning involves preliminary support for the Fediverse Starter Kits, a proposed recreation of Bluesky’s Starter Pack functionality. While there have been a number of attempts to make something similar for the Fediverse in the past, there has yet to be a Fediverse standard for lists filled with recommended users to follow. However, the WordPress team has put in the effort to support Pixelfed‘s Starter Kit Data Schema as a point of reference.

In all, this release iterates on the current ActivityPub stack for WordPress, and could provide a stable foundation for a lot of future functionality that we’ve all come to expect from platforms such as Mastodon, Misskey, or even Bonfire.

A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World: A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide


A Call from the Workers of Gaza to Labor Unions Around the World:

A Cry in the Face of Starvation and Genocide

To all free workers everywhere,

To our comrades in trade unions and labor federations around the world,

We bring to you the statement of the workers of Gaza, issued by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions, addressed to the workers and unions of the world—this final appeal they have named “A Cry Before Death.” It reaches us from the midst of hunger and siege, from beneath the rubble of factories and homes, and from the heart of a continuing war of extermination that has gone on for nearly 22 months alongside a systematic policy of mass starvation executed by “Israel” with direct support from the United States and its European partners.

The statement reads: “The Israeli war has destroyed 80% of Gaza’s homes, all of its factories, workshops, and sources of livelihood, and most of its farmland has been bulldozed.”

Indeed, the lives of workers, fishermen, farmers, and all productive social sectors in the besieged Strip have been turned into a living hell. Their families are now without shelter and without income. There is no food and no medicine. One worker says: “We are besieged by American and European weapons, choked by hunger, neglect, and silence — all in an attempt to destroy our lives, to break our resilience, and to crush the will of resistance in our people.”

We address you today once again, not merely as victims, but as the workers of Palestine: an integral part of the popular and working classes of this world, struggling for justice, liberation, and dignity. And we call upon you to:

Break the silence and complicity, raise your voices within your unions and federations, and denounce the policies of starvation, siege, and massacre in Gaza.

Pressure your governments to end arms deals and military cooperation with the occupation, and to impose sanctions on the Zionist settler-colonial and apartheid regime.

Boycott companies that support the occupation, and withdraw union investments from any company, institution, or entity involved in funding or profiting from the war.

Organize days of rage and global solidarity in factories and workshops, in ports and airports, in the streets and public squares, in support of Palestine and its brave people.

We especially appeal to the unions of seafarers and port workers, urging them to refuse to load or unload “Israeli” ships or those bound for Zionist ports, and to halt any form of maritime or commercial cooperation with the tools of war and siege. Your strong hands and awakened consciences are capable of halting the machinery of extermination and stopping the shipments of death sent to Palestine. Show all humanity the power of the struggling working class when it rises united in defense of justice and human values.

From here, we proudly and gratefully salute our comrades, the port workers in Greece, for their principled and courageous stance, and their leading role in boycotting “Israeli” ships and rejecting complicity in war crimes. We also salute the labor unions in Norway, Spain, France, Canada, and elsewhere for their pioneering role in impactful solidarity with our people through the boycott of occupation institutions. We call upon all labor unions around the world to cut ties with the so-called “Histadrut”, the Zionist organization that claims to belong to the working class while participating in the siege of Palestinian workers, justifying the genocide in Gaza, and serving as an integral part of the Israeli occupation apparatus.

Comrades,
What is being carried out today in Gaza is a crime of mass starvation in full view of the world: its aim is to displace us and expel us from our land. This is not only a war of physical extermination; it is a series of crimes that surpass everything committed by Nazism and fascism in Europe. It is carried out with the aim of subjugating us by destroying the very conditions of life and human dignity. Yet the popular working classes and their free unions around the world possess a legacy of history, strength, and courage sufficient to defeat these criminal policies — if they unite their ranks and raise their voice in confrontation with colonialism, Zionism, and the savagery of capitalism.

We promise you:
We will rebuild the universities, schools, institutions, and factories of Gaza again, as we have always done after every American-Zionist war of destruction. And we will continue our steadfastness, no matter how great the hardships and challenges.

Let us turn anger into action, and solidarity into a concrete stance.
Let us break the policy of starvation and raise the banner of labor struggle for justice—For a free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

The Palestinian Alternative Revolutionary Path Movement (Masar Badil)
23 July 2025

(Text of the statement from the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions – Gaza)

The Workers’ Cry Before Death

A cry we raise to speak to the consciences and dignity of our comrades in the unions, to call for mobilization in support of children who cannot find milk or a morsel of bread, for mothers whose breasts have dried up, for patients waiting to die of hunger, for elders who fear dying of hunger, and for workers who can find neither work nor bread.

Our free comrades, For 22 months, the occupation has carried out the killing of civilians and the destruction of homes—destroying 80% of Gaza’s houses, all of its factories, bulldozing most of its agricultural lands, and closing off most sources of livelihood.

Honorable colleagues, We think well of you, so roll up your sleeves to break the siege on Gaza. We await from you a human and moral role to save Gaza from a blockade in which the criminal occupation has sealed every window for the entry of food, medicine, and water to its people.

Our union comrades, We await your role in delivering the cry of the children and workers of Gaza to decision-makers and to the streets. You are the most worthy of carrying this responsibility—so be our support, move the streets, and stop the arms deals that are killing children, women, and workers. Mobilize the sympathizers and supporters to break the siege on Gaza, and deliver your free voice to the decision-makers.

There is no excuse for those who abandon Gaza and its people, or who abandon the workers.

Gaza will remain a witness to those who stood with the cry for humanity and the cry for freedom, and it will remain a symbol for the free people of the world.

in reply to AlHouthi4President

Please share this statement with your labor unions and local political organizations wherever you are on this planet.

The workers of the world have more power than we think and our brothers in sisters in Gaza are crying out for our help.

I'm an idiot, what specifically is added by the descriptor "ready-made" in this context?
in reply to tisktisk

It's a quote from Marx talking about why the Paris Commune adopted different political forms than that of the republicans. Saying "ready-made" in this case would be saying that the form of government of an insurgent working class is essentially different from the typical bourgeois state, and that the working class can't simply try to operate the bourgeois state, ready-made because it already exists. Effectively this means that Marx is clear that in order for the working class to free itself, the bourgeois state must be destroyed and replaced by a government created by the working class, and, judging by the Commune and later experiences, will be constructed amid the struggle to destroy the bourgeois state.

Sorry if that's a lot for an innocuous question. But if you're still curious, for fuller context:

The direct antithesis to the empire was the Commune. The cry of “social republic” ... did but express a vague aspiration after a republic that was not only to supercede the monarchical form of class rule, but class rule itself. The Commune was the positive form of that republic. ...
But the working class cannot simply lay hold of the ready-made state machinery, and wield it for its own purposes.
The centralized state power, with its ubiquitous organs of standing army, police, bureaucracy, clergy, and judicature – organs wrought after the plan of a systematic and hierarchic division of labor – originates from the days of absolute monarchy, serving nascent middle class society as a mighty weapon in its struggle against feudalism. Still, its development remained clogged by all manner of medieval rubbish, seignorial rights, local privileges, municipal and guild monopolies, and provincial constitutions. The gigantic broom of the French Revolution of the 18th century swept away all these relics of bygone times, thus clearing simultaneously the social soil of its last hinderances to the superstructure of the modern state edifice raised under the First Empire, itself the offspring of the coalition wars of old semi-feudal Europe against modern France.
During the subsequent regimes, the government, placed under parliamentary control – that is, under the direct control of the propertied classes – became not only a hotbed of huge national debts and crushing taxes; with its irresistible allurements of place, pelf, and patronage, it became not only the bone of contention between the rival factions and adventurers of the ruling classes; but its political character changed simultaneously with the economic changes of society. At the same pace at which the progress of modern industry developed, widened, intensified the class antagonism between capital and labor, the state power assumed more and more the character of the national power of capital over labor, of a public force organized for social enslavement, of an engine of class despotism.
After every revolution marking a progressive phase in the class struggle, the purely repressive character of the state power stands out in bolder and bolder relief...


Later on in the same section Marx describes the different political form of the Commune, mentioning mandated revocable delegation in place of representation, combining executive and legislative functions into the assemblies of delegates, and so on.

in reply to Ian

God I wish there were more like you Ian. Superb work and mucho thankso
in reply to tisktisk

@Provinto@lemmy.ml gave an excellent answer, but I figured I'd take my shot at simplifying further.

Essentially, the bourgeois state is formed over time to support bourgeois society. A revolution that tries to wield it in its own favor has to contend with the fact that over time, the state as a superstructure is fully compatible with its respective base, capitalism. In order to change the base and superstructure, an entirely new state needs to take its place, not just in name but in structure, otherwise the old superstructure left hanging will wrest back control, like what happened at the Paris Commune.



The Promised LAN


Saw this posted over on HackerNews, and loved it. I'm big on self-hosting, and this is an incredibly exciting idea to me.

The Promised LAN is a closed, membership only network of friends that operate a 24/7 always-on LAN party, running since 2021. The vast majority of documentation is maintained on the LAN, but this website serves to give interested folks, prospective members or friends an idea of what the Promised LAN is, and how it works.


Their manifesto is also worth reading. My personal favorite part:

We do not wish to, nor will we, rebuild the internet. We do not wish to, nor will we, scale this. We will never be friends with enough people, as hard as we may try. Participation hinges on us all having fun. As a result, membership will never be open, and we will never have enough connected LANs to deal with the technical and social problems that start to happen with scale. This is a feature, not a bug.

This is a call for you to do the same. Build your own LAN. Connect it with friends’ homes. Remember what is missing from your life, and fill it in. Use software you know how to operate and get it running. Build slowly. Build your community. Do it with joy. Remember how we got here. Rebuild a community space that doesn’t need to be mediated by faceless corporations and ad revenue. Build something sustainable that brings you joy. Rebuild something you use daily.

Bring back what we’re missing.

in reply to Pro

If you offer somone 60$, and they deny it and say they can only do it for 260 it's because they already have someone willing to pay 250, and they can only make 1 piece at a time. Why would they turn down a 250$ piece to make your 60$ piece? It's simple scarcity. You aren't entitled to someones labor for any price. I really don't care if you use AI to make what you want. The only thing about AI that annoys me is that it's everywhere now, and it looks bad a lot of the time. But just understand that your post here just makes you look entitled. That's why your being mass downvoted. I suggest you do some introspection, and try to see things from other peoples perspectives.

Should i install a discontinued custom recovery ? And how to keep root after update on LineageOS!


Am using my redmi note 8 with lineageos built in custom recovery. And my device was rooted. Recently i installed a OTA update and i loose my root access. As i don't own a laptop (i used my friend laptop to flash custom rom and magisk) it's cery inconvenient to lose root on every OTA update.

I researched about it and find magisk don't root android in a deeper level but in a surface level, thats why an OTA update wipes root access.

So recently i was looking at custom recovery like orangefox and twrp fir fixing this issue. For my device orangefox dropped development and rwrp have updates only one a year and last one was yeras ago...

What should i do ? How can i really keep root on an OTA update without a PC or Second device with OTG cable ?

Is there any other root manager that don't allow to lose root after OTA updates ? And is this issue caused by updating the recovery along with the OTA update ? Just so confusing!

Or should i avoid rooting at all ?

Try Lygisk, it's a fork of Magisk that's meant to survive OTAs for devices that only have one system partition. I've used it on a previous phone and it worked great.

Flagged and Ignored: Testing X’s Response to EU Sanction Violations


  • Researchers identified hundreds of posts violating EU sanctions on the social media platform X.
  • X is categorised as a “Very Large Online Platform” (VLOP) under the Digital Services Act (DSA), and as such is legally obligated to mitigate systemic risks on their platform and investigate illegal content reports from users.
  • A sample dataset of 125 clear sanction-violating posts were reported to X using the “Report EU Illegal Content” form on the platform. These included, for instance, programmes from the Russian state broadcaster RT.
    Only 57% of the reports of illegal content received acknowledgement receipts, breaching DSA obligations.
  • Only one of the reported posts was removed, and for the remaining cases, X responded via email, stating that no violation of EU law was found, despite clear evidence to the contrary.
  • There were 7 responses made by the platform within 2 minutes or less, potentially indicating automated reviews.
  • In the case of content from the sanctioned Russian influence operation Doppelgänger, posts were deleted despite the platform’s initial response claiming no action would be taken.
  • The results of this reporting experiment suggest that X’s current moderation mechanisms are insufficiently equipped, or that the platform is potentially unwilling to enforce sanction-related policies at scale.


Labels Don't Want Supreme Court Review to Delay Piracy Lawsuit Against Verizon


In a move that could reshape the online copyright enforcement landscape, last month the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a pivotal piracy liability lawsuit. The Court's decision will have a direct impact on similar lawsuits, including that between major record labels and ISP Altice, which is now on hold. Verizon has asked the court for a similar stay, but since that lawsuit is in its early stages, the labels are firmly opposed to any further delay.

Deleting Windows from dual boot Linux/Windows computer


I have a PC currently configured to dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint. I don't need Windows anymore, but Mint is working just fine and I'd rather avoid wiping the whole thing and starting over. Is there a safe way to just get rid of Windows?
in reply to Demonmariner

Do you have data on the Windows partition?

Either way, a good way to do it might be to use dd (or a different disk image tool) to copy your Linux installation partitions to a portable hard drive, and make sure the image works. Then wipe the drive and copy the Linux partitions back to it via dd or another imaging tool.

in reply to Demonmariner

Hi,
I didn't see the answer if you only have your pc and no other big storage :
If you still have the installation usb or recreate one. Boot on it then you open gparted with that you remove the two partition off windows, the main with the system and the recovery one (if there is) but don't touch the first or last partition esp if it exits.
Then you can expand the partitions to get the free space. Extend to the right is fast but extend to the left can be really slow and prone to failures.
I case you Linux partition are all on the right you can also create new main partition, do the install of the linux on this one, then reboot on the USB, move the user and configuration files on the new system, delete old installation partitions, then extend the new install to take the full drive.
There is commands to remove the old esp entries I don't remember yet.
This can take few hours so be patient.

The other option with a backup (dd) of the main partition is obviously safer but take nearly the same amount of time and need an external drive.
